After Lucy's death, Dr. Seward, Van Helsing, and Arthur Holmwood accuses Dracula of the incident. Dr Seward, Van Helsing, and Arthur Holmwood is arguing that Dracula has somehow killed Lucy providing evidences. On the other hand, Dracula and Reinfield protests, saying that it was the lack of care (Mr. Stephens says - "I think this means that Dracula and Reinfield are arguing that they are not guilty.") that resulted Lucy's death. The trial will be divided in to four different parts: opening statement, confession of the witnesses, cross examination, and the conclusion. There are six different roles and you get to choose what you want to be (write your name in the link). Each person would need to prepare questions for the witnesses and the cross examination. The witnesses should prepare to answer the questions.
*This is not a complex trial. Witnesses will have their own time to answer the questions. However, in the cross examination, the lawyers are free to ask any questions to any of the witnesses of the opposition. Lawyers and witnesses should communicate to each other before the trial (5-10min will be enough). As soon as you read this, try to tell your friends to hurry up and take the role they want. Josh, Dongmyung, and Sangwoo will be the judges in this trial. Good luck! Factual Questions
